...it would have worked out, then I would have sent corrections to the article on Sismondi immediately (it is necessary to break it into §§ and correct important misprints). Then telegraph me: "send corrections." By my calculation, if all goes well, it would be possible to manage to bring out the book in April, if not earlier.

It seems to me that we should try it ourselves, without waiting for the plans of the new-word people — "Ulita is going...". Besides, it's annoying that you write — for nothing, and besides, we also need the earnings. They may object that the articles are completely heterogeneous, but, in my view, that is no matter: N. Vodovoзov's are also heterogeneous, and there's no end to how many collections of articles are published in general.

Moreover, there is something in common in them: both — critique of Populist economics, one — abstract, the other — on Russian data. Please answer me as soon as possible on this score: is this plan feasible or not? If yes, then we must set about it without losing time.

N. E. F. does not write to me, does not even answer, although I wrote him 2 letters*. Reproach him for this, if you write to him. About the "history" in Verkholensk I have heard: some vile scandal-monger turned up, who attacked N. E.77 No, I would rather not wish intelligent comrades for me in Shushenskoye! With the arrival of N. K., there will already be a whole colony.

Greetings to all our people.

Your V. U.
